Acer announce the Iconia A110

Yesterday Acer announced a new small Nexus and Kindle Fire competitor. It is called the Iconia A110 which follows on the A100 we reviewed a while back. Acer have made a nice range of tablets of the years and hopefully this one will continue the trend.

The spec is as follows:

7” display

390 g

Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

2MP front-facing camera

NVIDIA® Tegra® 3 quad-core processor

HDMI port

Micro USB port

Micro-SD card slot

8gb or 16gb models

No mention of the screen spec yet, although when Acer initially mentioned it a while back the screen was meant to be 1024×600 which is a little less than the Nexus 7. Although the A110 has the extra MicroSD slot and HDMI slot which will make it more functional than the Nexus. Although the custom ROM scene for the Nexus will be miles ahead of the A110.

If you are looking for a tablet that you can easily hold in one hand and still lets you enjoy web browsing, multimedia, or even work if you need to, you have found your dream tablet.

It features Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which enables easy access to your favorite apps and brings resizable widgets that automatically resizes to the space available on the screen.
